You know I use Gmail happily and I don't receive a lot of spam. But I see that your web server became happier like you and it's a very good news. You have chosen your own direction to avoid spam and I see the result from your article. Like you I got tired of receiving spam. You know I use Gmail happily and I don’t receive a lot of spam.

I got tired of receiving spam on my hosted accounts and was aware that Google does wonders with catching spam. Currently I could never think about going back to hosting my mail on my server and relying on Spamassassin or ClamAV. I used to access all my mail through Outlook also but its so easy now to just use the g-mail site as I never was a fan of Squirrel Mail or any of those. The best thing is the amount of space you get with the google apps system. I haven't even used 1% of my quota yet. Now... if only spam would disappear. :) This sounds like a fun project but I can tell you that I use Google apps and absolutely love it.

You still get the spam, but it's moved over into a holding folder for further action. I filter my other addresses through the account -- one which averages 600 to 800 spams every 8 hours. (Online since 1994) SpamCop does give some slight degree of pleasure by clicking "Report Spam" and knowing that a) the spam IS INDEED reported to abuse contacts, and b) is added to the more popular black holes. I love it... the interface and usability is second to none, my email never gets blocked and it is NEVER down. Everyone should have SpamCop email and a Knujon account.
